BROAD GOALS AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
![Page 4: UPDATE ON THE ALBERTA CHILDHOOD ASTHMA PATHWAY … · Pathway Components • ED Algorithm • Validated clinical score • Use by nurses & RTs • MDI with spacers in place of nebulizers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011809/5d544ede88c993bc6b8b47f9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why use a pathway? • Gap between best evidence and practice
• Variability in care delivered • Good evidence for both chronic and acute management
• Good care improves QOL, burden on family and health
care costs

IN THE BEGINNING: Calgary Health Region • Confluence of interest in developing acute care pathway
• Development of pathway 2004-6
• Implement ACH 2006 & remainder of Region by 2007/8
• Formal evaluation funded by CIHR
• Improved use of best therapies
• No decrease in health care utilization

BECOMING ONE: Alberta Health Services • Four Regions had acute asthma pathways • Prioritized by AHS Child Health Administration • Part of AHS Integration Teams
• Incorporation of primary care as well as acute care pathways
• Funded by CIHR Partners for Health Service Improvements
• Transferred to Respiratory Clinical Networks

Patient/family education • Evidence: Cochrane SR, 2009. • 38 RCTs, 7,843 children, educational interventions directed at
children and/or parents who present to ED • Subsequent ED visit, RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.81 • Hosp admission, RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.69 to 0.92 • Unscheduled MD visit, RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.81
• At discharge from ED or hospital: “Refer to the highest level of education available”

Rigorous evaluation – AIHS PRIHS Outcomes (admin data and standardized surveys))
• Increase anti-inflammatory medications? Prescriptions Dispensing
• Decrease health care utilization? • Increase family and child QOL and disease control? • Decrease in health care costs?

Alberta-wide rollout? • ~ 1200 total primary care practices
• 41 PCNs
